ABSTRACT:
A toe piece for holding a ski boot in a safety ski binding wherein the toe piece is pivotable laterally against a biasing force when excessive side forces occur. The toe piece is comprised of a base plate mountable to the upper surface of a ski, a first pivot pin mounted to the base plate, the first pivot pin being disposed to one side of the longitudinal axis of the ski and being perpendicular to the surface thereof, a holding device for holding the sole of the boot, the holding means including an elongated, arcuate opening for receiving one end of the first pivot pin therein, a second pivot pin mounted to the holding means for movement therewith, the second pin being parallel to the first pin and disposed on the other side of the longitudinal axis, a generally elongated link member pivotally mounted at one end to the first pivot pin and pivotally mounted at the other end to the second pivot pin, the link member extending genrally transversely to the longitudinal axis, an elastic device for biasing the soleholder to a central position wherein the soleholder is symmetrically disposed with respect to the longitudinal axis, and a stop member fixed to the base plate operable to cause the soleholder to pivot about the first pivot pin when the boot exerts an outward force in the direction of the first pivot pin, and to pivot about the second pivot pin when the boot exerts an outward force.
